At Baba's request, Harry Kenmore told a joke which made Baba and all laugh heartily. Baba announced he would be in the Lagoon Cabin until 1:30 P.M. with the blinds down.
"I may call you or I may not," he said.
Max and Gisela Haefliger were among those called to the Lagoon Cabin. Baba reminisced about Nilu and remarked on how close Max had been to Nilu.
Baba then said, "Max, you are one of the mandali. Always remember that. You will not see me again. This is my final trip to the West. It is good that you both came."
Baba offered Max both his cheeks to kiss. Then he put Max and Gisela's heads together and put his own forehead between theirs in a tender embrace.
Later in the afternoon, the men gave a performance for Baba in the Barn. As Baba was carried inside seated in his lift-chair, all shouted his Jai and then sang Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here , followed by When the Saints Go Marching In , sung by Leonard Willoughby. Mickey Florsheim was the Master of Ceremonies and gave Baba a toy alligator that beat a drum; Ben Hayman gave him a large stuffed alligator. Harry Kenmore and Harold Rudd did a skit about a novice actor (Harold) and his drama coach (Harry) rehearsing a scene from Julius Caesar . Afterwards, Leonard sang He's Got The Whole World in His Hands .
Baba laughed when Leland De Long entered pushing a wheelbarrow with Dana Field dressed as a baby riding in it. Max Haefliger played a patient about to undergo an emergency "sanskaric" operation. The surgeon extracted streams of paper representing sanskaras out of his stomach until the "tumor" (a big read balloon) burst.
When Mickey Florsheim kept blowing a whistle to awaken a sleeping Ben Hayman, Baba patted his cheeks, gesturing, "I never laughed so much in this incarnation as I laughed today!"
Charles Purdom and others narrated a few humorous stories. Charles' story involved the aftermath of a cataclysmic event. "There was nothing left on Earth," he said, "except for two monkeys, a male and a female. The male monkey turned to the female monkey and said, 'I am afraid we have to start the whole thing all over again!' "
After the program ended, Baba commented, "Today's performance is one of the few things I shall miss in my next incarnation!"
He embraced all the performers and helpers. Tears were streaming down the face of some of the men as they knelt before Baba to receive their embrace, they were so happy.
